Celebrated Crimes, Vol. 4:part 2: Urbain Grandier

Celebrated Crimes, Volume 5: Urbain Grandier

ALEXANDRE DUMAS, pere (1802 - 1870)

This is the dramatic story of Urbain Grandier, a catholic priest, who had a rep-
utation to rival that of Casanova, which ultimately led to his destruction. He
was accused of witchcraft after a series of accusations from nuns of a nearby
convent, who claimed that Grandier has sent several demons upon them.

The case is very well documented, and the original documents of the alleged
pact, written in backwards Latin and signed by all participating demons, are
still preserved. The case continues to inspire art and sciences, leading to as-
sessments of the events in light of modern sociology, psychology, and legal
sciences. Alexandre Dumas' version of the events is presented here.
